Superstitions Concerning Bells.

The effort of an Indiana family to
have certain church bells of their city
silenced as a nuisance has been par
elleled in other places. But the
war on church bells has not always
been waged on such grounds. In some
cases it has been the outgrowth of an
iconoclastic temper on the part of per-
sons who wished to break the force OF
the religious associations which cluster
around the music of the spirits. In
olden times bells were supposed to have
certain supernatural powers. They
we're used to disarm Satan when he
visited plous communities on earth.
On their holy sounds the souls of the
dead were waited to heaven.
When the French took Zw~eibruecken
in 1917, we read that they tried to melt
one of the local church bells, when ii
sweated drops of blood, which OF
the officers wiped off with a handker-
chief so that he could show the stains
to King Louis in proof OF his asser-
tons.
In Sweden, long, long ago, there lived
a race of giants who were SO wicked as
to hurl rocks at the churches to try to
destroy them. One day a peasant,
going to the cave of one of these mons
tiers, heard himself called Jacob,
Jacob, come in and eat of my stew"
NAY" answered Jacob, who would
not for worlds have broken fast with a
sacrilegious creature like that, "if you
have more stew than you a eat, you
better lay the rest aside for the NOR
row." "But / cannot wait till the
morrow" pleaded the giant; "they
have brought those horrid church bells
into Sweden, and | cannot withstand
their power. l must fee'o "And
when come you back 7" asked Jacob.
'Not till the hills have become the bot
tom of the sea, and the sea turned into
farming land" quoth the giant. And
he was as good as his word for from
that day forth, the rock hurting mons
tiers were not known in Sweden, and
the churches have enjoyed a peace like
that of heaven.

OF summer skies,
And ever from his prattling lips there comes
Some sweet surprise.
As flowers unfold their petals to the air
And scent the earth,
So buds and blossoms forth his baby life
In fragrant mirth.
He drains the nectar from life's chalice
sweet
OF ~childhood's years.
And recks not of the vexing cares unborn,
OF griefs n tears.
Thus day by day he brightens all the hours
And romps and plays
a petted idol throned in loving hearts
BY winning ways.
With laughing eyes he shakes his golden
curls
So charming cute
You fain condone the mischief that he does
By keeping mute.
And though the past with all its garnered
years
Scarce counts him there,
In woven with my wool of life he grows
More dear to me.
God grant through all the heritage of time
To him ordained,
The sweet fruition of a life well spent
And honors gained.

SWEPT BY TORNADOES.
Death and Destruction in the
Paths of Furious Storms.
Fifteen Persons Reported Killed at
Nevada, Mo.

NEVADA, Mo-. April %. "A furious
cyclone swept over the Northern part
of this (Vernon) county last night
about s O'Clock. The cyclone seemed
to come down the Marmadon River
from the Kansas line, dealing death
and destruction wherever it struck.
So far as can be learned the first
place it touched was at Metz Town,
ship, passing through Metl, Usage and
Blue Mound Townships. Fences
houses, barns and everything in the
line of the storm, which was abouthali
a mile wide, were picked up, rent into
splinteTs and cast down hundreds OF
yards away. Trees were torn up by the
roots, over thirty houses were Destroy
ed, and about fifteen persons killed.
Only a partial list of the dead has as
yet been obtained, which is as follows
Mrs. T.. Shrout and her daughter,
May Slower, J. G. Hawkins, John Mil
Ter, Mrs. John Miller.
There were five members of the Mil.
Ter family, four of whom were Killed.
The baby, aged 2 years, was dropped
in the yard and was found unhurt this
morning. Parts of the Miller house
and furniture were found strewn ovel
the fields for a mile from where the
house formerly stood.
Reliable news has only been received
from Usage township, and 1t is thought
that the death roll will he swelled tC
over twenty-five. A heavy gale passed
over this city, damaging the Methodist
church and other buildings, but none
vas seriously injured.
HUGE HAIL STONES.
The wind was preceded by a hal
storm, which did considerable damage.
Many of the hail stones weighed from
three to FIVE ounces, and some of them
measured nine inches in circumference.
They crashed through the roofs or dwell
ings and barns, leaving holes through
which a mans arm would pass with
ease.
Considerable injury to stock is re-
ported from the hail, but so far rs
learned no persons were Injured by 1t.
The storm entered this county a short
distance from Fort Scott, Kansas. and
tTaveTsed a distance of nearly thirty
five miles, entering the county at a
point two miles south OF Sehell City.
The path of the wind was from 300 to
400 yards wide, and the track WAS left

A Requiem.

he day is gone, alas the lovely day,
That came among US rs blushing bride
Led by her lover, the enamored sun,
Whose golden largeSs fell on every side,
All nature greeted her with rapturous joy
Tho forest birds broke forth in sweetest
song;
And dainty buds, awaking from their sleep,
Burst into blossom as she passed along,
And everywhere the children welcomed her,
In country lanes. and in the city's street.
The music of their laughter kept glad time
To the swift measure OF her flying feet.
Tho restless sick man tossing on his couch,
Beheld her and awhile forgot his pain;
Her presence cheered the laborer at his toll,
Aud brought to wrinkled age its youth
again
and IS she, smiling. hurried on her way,

dead,
Looked upward TO her clear, blue skies and
Somehow that sorrowing hearts were COM

She lies forsaken by the tickle sun,
And DER her bends the dusky Sc xton,

While the pale, trembling stars look

And natures tears are falling silently
